Penalise those in suitable adapted homes as fairness,unfortunately that is actually true not sarcasm.

[HindleA]

There is no logical end to the comparative fairness game,governments' rely on it.

[HindleA]

I think all sighted people should remove their eyes in fairness to the blind.

[PorFavor]

Night night.

[HindleA]

All under 58 non /widow/ers eliminate their spouse,perhaps rock/paper/scissors best of three to decide.

[HindleA]

All over 5ft 6" should reduce themselves to that size.

[HindleA]

No more ridiculous.

It wants to go out into the light. Leave a window wide open and tell it to go. Use a cloth to maneuver it out.

Usually I just leave them for the sikweaver spider but after not seeing it in its web for months I thought it had died and finally brushed its web away and cleaned the window after 2 years only to find it last night sitting where its web had been giving me a look that clearly said "What the fuck dude?"

Apparently things like ruining this poor womans life don't matter because we came higher than Zimbabwe in a happiness survey.

[HindleA]

No matter what circumstance I always have retained or tried to a level of happiness,in the final days ,naked Tommy Cooper impersonations and such like were necessary,it's both a coping mechaninism and for me conducive to energising me in my particular obsessional hobby horses ie personal happiness says nothing about my happiness with such things indeed,a reverse relationship is often the case.

[HindleA]

Rather like the application of narrative I keep banging on about applied at the personal level.

[HindleA]

I gave up nothing, continued mutual endeavour reframed,I gained in that not many will experience it at such a deep level,a deemed problem is equally an opportunity etc.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

All over 5ft 6" should reduce themselves to that size.

Or we could just stretch small people, or put one on anothers shoulders under a long coat.

I do get what you're saying and you're quite right. It's funny how for us plebs 'fairness' always seems to be used as a euphemism for a reduction in standards and playing people off against each other, and sadly it works.

Compare that to executives all sitting on the boards of each others companies where 'fairness' means them all voting on each others pay rises.

It's the same with the stick and carrot thing, we always seem to need a stick while the wealthy always require a carrot for some reason.

I'm sure someone from the Adam Smith Institute will be along soon to explain everything.

[HindleA]

The fact that a visiting GP didn't bat an eyelid during the Tommy Cooper thing may be indicative.Naked made up translations during Eurovision was an annual event but without an audience obviously not the same.

[HindleA]

The Thompson's Directory was useful in lieu of a fez.

[HindleA]

Some people are happy in being unhappy

Ooh we've got Emma Barnett on Newsnight again.

Being a massive chav I listen to radio 5 so know her from her morning show and she wasn't bad, seemed fairly even handed and actually asked some difficult questions, so I'm not surprised she's been moved on to better things. She certainly just put the boot into Matt Hancock.

[HindleA]

If doing a survey I knew would be used as a supposed indication of the effects government policy etc,for obvious reasons I would be "relentlessly negative"

[HindleA]

Was it him or a substitute technical solution?

[HindleA]

"Massive left wing intellectual relentlessly negative chav"

Well I never, Newsnight just did a piece on Tory Remainers in the North. Harrogate to be precise. No vox pops in the local market for the Tories though, oh no, a trio of entrepreneurs exuding the whiff of Chateauneuf du Pape and smugness. They all just voted Lib-Dem so are my fellow travellers, which is a delight. The biggest swing there for the EU elections (if you give the previous Ukip votes to the Brexit Party Ltd) was to the Lib-Dems by a whopping 13.5 percent. Newsnight even highlighted those Tory MP's in most electoral danger if they piss of their remain voters by going for a no deal, Iain Duncan Smith was leading the way. Which pleased me.

(Sigh)

[HindleA]

Strike that "happy" piffle.

[HindleA]

Sky seems to have adopted a '70's comedic turn of phrase.


Ooh,well I never.

[HindleA]

Missus

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Shut that door.

snip This is a private prosecution, not a criminal one

Wrong distinction - it's a private criminal prosecution. Which means, if you fancy speculating about even more political opportunism, that the DPP is entitled to take over a private prosecution and pursue it or discontinue it (although not just on a whim - there are tests that must be met although like a lot of these things there are all sorts of ways you could argue that they have or have not been met in order to suit your needs).

A darkie and a poofta walk into a bar...

What a wonderful example of solidarity and diversity in action.

I don't get to say this very often nowadays but I'm actually too young to remember that kind of nonsense, I was the generation of Not the Nine O'clock News and The Young Ones, thinking we were bringing an end, once and for all, to people being dicks to one another. It didn't occur to me at the time that a mere decade earlier the hippies had tried something similar and it hadn't worked.

How to enhance or suppress memories

in a new paper in Current Biology, Ramirez and a team of collaborators have shown just how pliable memory is if you know which regions of the hippocampus to stimulate -- which could someday enable personalized treatment for people haunted by particularly troubling memories.

Ok so this research has only been on mice, but the question remains, would you want to?

Our memories make us who we are for better or worse, start messing about with them and we become a different person. Of course it can be said nobody ever steps in the same river twice because they're neither the same river or the same person but that's a natural change, we all evolve intellectually and emotionally over time in response to whatever stimuli we encounter. And that obviously includes the bad stuff. Start removing the bad stuff and you lose all the stuff Calvin's dad called 'character building'. Given the choice between being me, with all the fucked up baggage in my memory, and being some zenned out bland grinning shell of a human I'd stick with being me. Despite knowing the latter would undoubtedly be happier.

I guess, as Spanky said above, that some of us are happy being unhappy.

Actually now I come to think of it, Shatner dealt with this issue in his brilliant philosophicaly underatted Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
